Using these candles is easy. Just place them in a standard taper candlestick holder. When lighting, use a long - handled lighter or match to avoid getting too close to the flame. Keep them away from flammable materials and out of reach of children and pets. To maintain them, store them in a cool, dry place to prevent the wax from melting or deforming. If they start to get a bit dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. Enjoy these candles to add a touch of elegance to your special occasions.
